Hi,
I hope this is the right list to submit this request to
I have the following problem with samba 2.2.2 that I upgraded to
samba 2.2.7 to try to see if the problem
would go away. But I still have the following problem:
When I open the Start->Settings->Printers window
It shows the printers that I have connected to from the samba
print server printer_name on samba_ip_address
It shows <opening> at 1st then changes to <access denied, unable
to connect>
and never shows the ready message that I used to get from a samba
1.9.15p8 server that I updated.
* Can someone help me to get rid of the access denied messages
from the Printers window?
The following is what I have:
My OS is Solaris 8 my PCs are either WinNT4 or Win2000
I have set up smb.conf as you can see below
With it I can use dos to run net view and it works as expected
I can open Network Neighborhood and find my samba print server
and it will list all the printer shares
along with the Printers folder. If I double click the Printers
folder:
I can get a list of all the printers and the number of
documents that are currently being printed on each
printer and If I double-click on a specific printer I can get
the name of the job and person that is printing
on the queue. This works as expected. I did not see this
error in any of the Archives or the troubleshooting
section that I found or in any of the 3 books I have. I need
your expertise in solving this feature.
Thanks,
Tim
